Each had and each scout will take part in the game at some time and the more present, the more cheering and good fellowship there will be. So each scout in Troop 33 is making a strong bid for dad‘s time next Wedâ€" nesday evening. â€" Y hq Lloyd Wightman, assistant scoutmasgâ€" ter of the troop. Fred Reichardt will stay for second period â€"at _camp and Judson Wells is registered for the enâ€" tire three periods at camp.

Excitement over the game is runâ€" ning high and varying opinions ‘hold as to the probable winner. While the game is mainly for the sport in it, each side will make its best bid and there will probably be. an "exciting evening when the teams clash. â€" _ > Dads Surprise Scouts Troop 33 last week had one of the finest meetings ever held by the troop, accordingâ€" to â€"many of. the ~scouts, when the fathers of members of the troop came in as a group and surâ€" prised the troop while they were drillâ€" ing. â€" The fathers entered with, "hail, hail, the gang‘s all here," as a processional and brought with them offerings of ice cream, cake, and pop. After .a brief court of honor cereâ€" mony at which Scout Commissioner W. W. Reichardt presided the entire group sang a number of songs and then made an attempt to put a dent in the large supply of provisions that the fathers had brought with them.
